Quince Aromatnaya Russian

Aromatnaya Russian Quince

Aromatnaya Quince bears rounded yellow fruit with a pineapple-like flavor. The firm flesh is useful for cooking and preserves, and fully ripened fruit can also be thinly sliced for fresh use.

Large white spring flowers add ornamental interest before the autumn crop. Fruit may benefit from a period of indoor ripening until it starts to soften.

Plant in full sun. Aromatnaya is self-fertile, so a single tree can bear fruit.
